(2) The list of property shall be signed as a correct and true list by the master and countersigned by another seafarer and the master shall retain one copy of the list. (3) With the exception of any property that is perishable or which cannot be transmitted as a consequence of it being prohibited or illegal the shipowner shall ensure that all the property belonging to a deceased seafarer as well as a copy of the signed list of property is returned to the seafarer s next of kin.

Complaints 20 (1) Every ship to which these Regulations apply shall have in place a procedure that may be used by any seafarer serving in the ship to make a complaint relating to any matter that is alleged to constitute a breach of the requirements of the Maritime Labour Convention. The procedures shall be set out in writing and available to every seafarer. They shall include the contact details for the Department of Maritime Administration; the contact details of the competent authority in the seafarer s country of residence; and the identity of a person on board who can, on a confidential basis, provide impartial advice on a complaint or otherwise assist in following the procedures. (2) The complaints procedures shall seek to ensure that any complaint is dealt with at the lowest level possible but in every case the procedure shall allow for the seafarer raising the complaint, if the complaint is not satisfactorily resolved initially, to complain directly to the ship s master. (3) The use of the complaints procedure shall not prejudice any other legal rights that the seafarer may have to seek redress elsewhere. (4) The complaints procedure shall provide for a seafarer who is unable to obtain satisfactory resolution to a complaint on board or through his employer to make a complaint directly to the Bermuda Maritime Administration and any complaint made to the Bermuda Maritime Administration shall (e) be in writing; clearly Identify the complainant; include sufficient evidence to justify the complaint and show that it is not vexatious, malicious or frivolous; list the steps that have already been taken through the on-board complaints procedure to deal with it including the responses to each step; and be made within 3 months of the final failure to achieve resolution. (5) Any seafarer shall also have the right, when a complaint has not been effectively dealt with by the complaints procedure and where it relates to compliance with the Maritime Labour Convention, to make a complaint to an authorised Port State Control Authority officer. (6) It shall be an offence for any person to victimise or otherwise penalise any seafarer for making a complaint. 14

15 (7) Every on-board complaints procedure shall include the right of the seafarer to be accompanied or represented during the procedure and shall be designed to include safeguards against the possibility of any adverse action being taken by any person against the seafarer for making a complaint which is not vexatious or malicious. Disciplinary procedures to be created 21 (1) Every shipowner shall establish a disciplinary procedure for dealing with serious misconduct and the details of that procedure shall be available to each seafarer. (2) A disciplinary procedure established in accordance with paragraph (1) shall provide at least that (e) (f) the matter shall be dealt with only by the master or by an officer appointed by him; the matter shall be dealt with within 24 hours of it coming to the attention of the master unless it is not practicable for him to deal with it in that time or the investigation of the matter is not complete, in which case, it shall be dealt with at the first opportunity thereafter; the master shall keep a record of the nature of the offence, the evidence presented, the responses of the seafarer accused, the evidence of any witnesses and his decision after hearing all the evidence; the seafarer accused shall have an opportunity to be accompanied by a friend or representative; nothing in the process removes the seafarer s legal right to seek redress elsewhere; and the seafarer is to be presented with a written record of the proceedings. Penalties 22 (1) A shipowner who contravenes regulations 4 or 18 commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000.

Inspection 23 (1) Any person duly authorised by the Minister may inspect any ship to which these Regulations apply when in a port in Bermuda, and if he is satisfied that the arrangements for seafarer s employment are not in accordance with those stated in the Declaration part 1 to the ship s Maritime Labour Certificate, or in the case of a vessel which does not carry a Maritime Labour Certificate, the Maritime Labour Convention, he may 15

16 detain the ship until the deficiency is rectified, but in the exercise of these powers he shall not detain the ship unreasonably. (2) An authorised officer of the Maritime Administration who discovers that a Bermuda ship to which these regulations apply does not comply with the regulations may withdraw the vessel s Maritime Labour Certificate until such time as the deficiency is rectified; or if the vessel is in a port outside Bermuda, inform the Port State Control Authority for that port of the deficiency.
